Gu Xi Is Forced to Read Fairy Tales

In the library, Gu Xi was unconsciously flipping through a Fairy Tale Book, while Shaya stood beside him with an angry expression.

At this moment, Gu Xi had no choice but to lower his head, because his hands had turned pure black, and distorted eyes had grown on the back of his hands.

This is all a result of Gu Xi's excessive reading in the Magic Tower.

If Shaya hadn't noticed something was wrong with Gu Xi Life-Life dragged him out, his condition might have been even worse.

However, this excessive reading is not without its benefits for Gu Xi. His Dark Knowledge has now reached level 3, and he has also completed his study of the other three spells in his spare time to reduce the impact of reading about Dark Knowledge.

Gu Xi has now mastered three spells: Wave of Death, Magic Arrow, and Flame Trap.

Because he studied these three spells in his spare time, Gu Xi only had a basic grasp of them, reaching level 1, and did not delve deeper into them.

However, for Gu Xi, it was good that he had already learned these three spells. He could use them in later battles, and by using them a few more times, his level could still be increased.

Thinking of this, Gu Xi was about to put down the Fairy Tale Book in his hand when Shaya pressed Gu Xi hand down and glared at him.

"Continue."

"Shaya, please let me off the hook. I've read this book so many times, I've almost memorized it."

"That won't do either. Until the strange phenomenon on your body subsides, you must stay here and read your book quickly. Don't get distracted, or I'll make you read it aloud."

Faced with Shaya's imposing manner, Gu Xi could only helplessly concede.

He lowered his head again and began to look through the Fairy Tale Book in his hands, which he had been reading for who knows how long. As he read, the abnormal parts of Gu Xi's hands slowly returned to normal.

Seeing that Gu Xi had become more obedient, Shaya relaxed a little. She was still standing next to Gu Xi, but her eyes were wandering around the library.

As Shaya turned her gaze, Gu Xi secretly raised his head, but before he could even relax, Shaya pressed his head down in front of the book.

"Read!"

"This is so boring."

Gu Xi muttered something to himself, then went back to reading intently.

This time, Gu Xi didn't get distracted. He really read the Fairy Tale Book in his hand back and forth, and the strange phenomenon on his body slowly faded away. Now, only a few of his fingertips still had a little black on them, but everything else had returned to normal.

Seeing that Gu Xi was recovering quickly, Shaya stopped pressing Gu Xi.

He simply watched Gu Xi behind to prevent him from doing anything reckless.

Just then, Luna floated into the library, Gu Xi, upon seeing her, wanted to put down the Fairy Tale Book.

Unexpectedly, Shaya stepped forward and blocked Luna's path.

"Luna, wait a little longer. The master needs to read for a few more minutes. Let's not leave any trouble at the end."

Luna glanced at Gu Xi's hands and then took a step back.

Then Shaya turned to look at Gu Xi, Gu Xi shrank back and continued reading. He had no interest in the conflict between his two Contract Undead.

After reading carefully again, Gu Xi finally cleared away all the strange phenomena on his body. He felt as light as if his body had been washed, and then Gu Xi let out a long sigh and stood up.

"Luna, is there anything to eat? I'm starving. Also, please add more books to the library next time. I'm getting tired of reading these Fairy Tale Book all the time."

"There is no librarian in the library, so you have to find the books yourself."

Shaya muttered a complaint from the side.

Faced with Shaya's complaints, Gu Xi felt somewhat helpless, since he hadn't managed the place since building the Magic Library.

While his busy schedule played a part, it also contributed to his neglect of the library.

But now it seems that the construction of the library cannot be stopped.

After we leave, we need to bring in some more books.

Otherwise, he really would throw up if he reads these Fairy Tale Book again.

At this moment, Luna, who had been blocked outside the door by Shaya, floated in again, carrying a roasted owl and a food that Gu Xi was somewhat unsure about.

Is this a new product?

Gu Xi took the food and saw that it was roasted fruit. The fruit looked like an apple, but it was smaller than an apple. Dark red liquid flowed out of the cut fruit.

The roasted fruit emitted a strange, sweet aroma.

[Roasted Blood Fruit (White, Food): A roasted blood fruit. Because the food comes from the Vampire's Blood-colored Garden, the fruit has a bloody smell. Eating it is not a problem. After consumption, it can increase constitution by 1 point for 2 hours.]

Looking at the attributes before him, Gu Xi's eyes lit up. He had been exhausted for so long and needed to replenish his energy.

So Gu Xi grabbed half a blood fruit and stuffed it into his mouth. As soon as he took a bite, Gu Xi felt a pungent sour taste burst in his mouth.

Gu Xi almost vomited, and then Luna slowly said, "The Wine Maiden said that the blood fruit is for Vampire; ordinary people will find it too sour."

"Is this considered too sour? My mouth is numb."

"It's better to have a numb mouth than to become a Dark Curse yourself."

Luna let out a heavy snort.

Actually, she was also angry with Gu Xi, but she didn't show it like Shaya did.

"Okay, I understand. That's enough this time. I won't be so aggressive next time."

Gu Xi knew he had gone a bit too far this time, so he quickly changed the subject, asking, "How's the situation in the city? How's the construction progressing? How's the progress at the Barracks?"

Once the conversation turned to business, Luna put aside some other matters and began to explain to Gu Xi.

"This time, you spent a total of 31 hours reading and resting. In the Demon Plant Zone, a Hawkeye Arrow Tower was completed. In the Hundred-Armed Giant Graveyard Zone, you said to prioritize the construction of the Alchemy Laboratory, so the Blood-Dripping Alchemy Laboratory has been completed ahead of schedule."

The Energy Lighthouse is currently under construction and is about 50% complete. It will take approximately seven more hours to complete.

Next up will be the Eternal Enslavement Altar, which will be placed in the Dock Area, where there is another Medium Plot available.

As for the Barracks, the Clear the Sewer teams have already launched three operations, and the remaining two teams are halfway through their second expedition. Supplies are overflowing and piling up in the square in front of the Barracks.

"Overflow? Perfect timing, I'll go check it out. I've been sitting for so long, my back is about to break. I need to get up and stretch."

As Gu Xi spoke, he stood up, but before leaving, Gu Xi also took the three Special Pea produced by the library this week.
